"A boy and his dog make a glorious pair; no better friendship is found anywhere." – Edgar Guest It was the happiest day for this boy when our new puppy, Frisky, came. She was a dynamite bundle of joy, setting my brother's and my lives aflame. My childhood was never the same. Can you guess...

The soft clip-clop of the horse echoed amongst the dark fir trees. The tall man rode bareback along the winding path of the forest. Resting on his leathery gauntlet sat an alert hawk, listening and watching. Soon it flew off towards some poor rodent, His prey for the day. The man looked up, Towards the range of high mountains, Snowcapped but with...

Cold huddled sparrows Wear that WTF look A squirrel drags his tail Through icy puddles A rat hunkers down Behind the barrels Worms wiggle dance In November’s no-fly zone A wet Owl whispers “Phew” School bus children Defy the rain drops A grouchy dog waits For the mailman An old woman’s scowl Frightens the wind ...

Written: July 08, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In the depths of shadows, dark forces unwind. Unleashing violence and chaos are left behind. Confusion spreads as wildfire, consuming all And fears bear root in anxious long nights' calls. Anticipating horrors, civil war's cruel game, One who was once a victim is now a blame Sectarian killings, anonymous and grim, A profession for those without hope within But does...

Her tears fill up the ocean, life scenes are in slow motion. Each snapshot takes a toll, on her lost and empty soul. As she awaits shapeless train headed to melancholy lane. 04/29/2023...

In the olden days My mother only took one photo for me As a new born with the family members My childhood gone plain without photos When I got my 1st salary I bought a camera To take photos wherever I go With my family Schoolmates Friends Colleagues Now When I open the photo album Sad memories pour in My parents gone Some family members gone Some...

For traveling We travel transversely Either poverty or prosperity Doesn't matter A bicycle on the road is poverty A car on the road is prosperity But when we see many bicycles on the road We feel astonished and take many snapshots But cars on the road isn't unusual For traveling We choose something special Like rural areas But in real life very much different There isn't...

Love doesn’t mean we will be together. Love doesn’t mean it will work. Love does mean I won’t forget you. Better times have been stored as snapshots, not hard to find. Even though now moved aside, becoming hidden by your request, in the depths of my mind....

Damper than morn' dew, you'd rise like alarms, with whimpered cries, too early for Mother. Picturesque you'd sleep nestled in her arms, unconsolable by any another. At shutter speed, you'd leap from Mama's lap, leaving the comfort of security's squeeze, trotting faster than a pat-a-cake clap to challenge cupboard climbs as jungle trees. Camera rolls could fill many backpacks with adventures and years of...

Ordained kaleidoscopic turn of the time wheel, the vacillating vista of life’s lattice designed on mindscape mimicking chameleon skin colors of the wasteland ash or the meadow emerald. Convergent vision zooming on diffused dreams, glances at the tapestry of transient ecstasy on the wings of the flittering butterflies, brings to focus of fulfillment before they fly away. On the journey across desolate...

splayed on a lavender altar lilac scents the air crimson droplets gut the darkness with a surgeon’s flare dreadfully different seasons proceeded to pass perspectives appear as broken faces etched on fractured glass teardrops fall in amber pools churning foaming suds casualties of the fever that lost the drive to love in an empty room solitary I sat on a vacant chair precision snaps...

Once we were inseparable Two runaways against the world You were my shelter from their frost And together we could fight all who would limit us 5 years later and our views shifted My universe collapsed and I built it back stronger Too strong for me to need you by my side Now I see you on the train some...

Snapshots by Michael R. Burch Here I scrawl extravagant rainbows. And there you go, skipping your way to school. And here we are, drifting apart like untethered balloons. Here I am, creating "art," chanting in shadows, pale as the crinoline moon, ignoring your face. There you go, in diaphanous lace, making another man’s heart swoon. Suddenly, unthinkably, here he is, taking my place. Published by Tucumcari Literary Review, Romantics...
